How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan (2018)

Michael Pollan, the foodie journalist and monster explainer, takes on psychedelics.  He goes over the history and reoprts on his personal experiences with 'shrooms, LSD and others.  It's interesting but I get the sense he thinks he's received a secret knowledge. 

Is it possible to cure an addiction to a mind altering substance (alcohol) with another (psylosibin)?  I don't think so. 

But it is an interesting book and was worth the read.
